He remained stoic as the judge declared a mistrial, while Constand doled out hugs to her mother, prosecutors and some of the other women who say the TV star drugged and abused them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Kevin Steele planned a late-morning news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comedian’s career and good-guy image were already in tatters by the time his chief accuser took the stand and described how Cosby gave her pills and then penetrated her with his fingers as she lay paralyzed on a couch, unable to tell him to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the jurors clearly struggled with their verdict, telling the judge on Day 4 they were at impasse. Judge Steven O’Neill instructed them to keep working toward a unanimous decision. On Saturday, they came back and told O’Neill they were hopelessly deadlocked. It wasn’t immediately known how many jurors wanted to convict and how many wanted to acquit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge sought to comfort the jurors, at least one of whom fought back tears, calling their epic deliberation “one of the more courageous acts, one of the more selfless acts that I’ve seen in the justice system. … I feel bad for all of you, I really do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He reminded prosecutors and the defense that “a mistrial is neither vindication nor victory for anybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the only criminal case to arise from allegations from more than 60 women that cast Cosby as a serial predator who gave drugs to women before violating them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not take the stand in his own defense, leaving it to his attorney to argue Cosby and Constand were lovers sharing a consensual sexual encounter. Lawyer Brian McMonagle told jurors that while Cosby had been unfaithful to his wife, he didn’t commit a crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re talking about all the man’s tomorrows,” said McMonagle, urging acquittal of an icon in the twilight of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby broke barriers as the first black actor to star in a network show, \u003cem>I Spy\u003c/em>, in the 1960s and created the top-ranked \u003cem>Cosby Show\u003c/em> two decades later, starring as kindly Dr. Cliff Huxtable. He found success with his \u003cem>Fat Albert\u003c/em> animated TV show and starred in commercials for Jello-O pudding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was his reputation as a public moralist who urged young people to pull up their saggy pants and start acting responsibly that prompted a federal judge to unseal portions of an explosive deposition he gave more than a decade ago as part of Constand’s civil lawsuit against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the deposition, released in 2015 at the request of The Associated Press, Cosby said he obtained several prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s and offered the now-banned sedatives to women he wanted to have sex with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said he gave Constand three half-tablets of the cold and allergy medicine Benadryl before the “petting” began. Prosecutors suggested he drugged her with something stronger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand, 44, initially went to police about a year after she said Cosby assaulted her, but a prosecutor declared her case too weak to bring charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade later, a new district attorney reopened the investigation after Cosby’s lurid testimony about drugs and sex became public, and dozens of women came forward against one of the most beloved stars in all of show business. He was charged shortly before the statute of limitation was set to expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMonagle, in his closing argument, pointed out that Constand telephoned Cosby dozens of times after the alleged assault. Constand told the jury she was merely returning his calls about the women’s basketball squad at Temple University, where she was director of team operations and he was a member of the board of trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t talking to a trustee. This is talking to a lover,” McMonagle said of one call that lasted 49 minutes. “Why are we running from the truth of this case — this relationship? Why?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also tried to sow doubt about Constand’s story, saying it had evolved during her interviews with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steele, the district attorney, said it was no accident that some of Constand’s memories were faulty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are some things in this case that should be fuzzy. Why? Because he drugged her to do this,” the prosecutor told jurors. “She spent a lot more time trying to forget what happened than trying to remember that night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before going on trial, Cosby expressed hope he could eventually resume his career. But TV networks had long since scrapped plans for a comeback and pulled reruns from the air after his lurid deposition testimony became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\nFor more on Cosby, including trial updates, historical photos, videos and an audio series exploring the case, visit http://www.apnews.com/tag/CosbyonTrial.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He found success with his \u003cem>Fat Albert\u003c/em> animated TV show and starred in commercials for Jello-O pudding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was his reputation as a public moralist who urged young people to pull up their saggy pants and start acting responsibly that prompted a federal judge to unseal portions of an explosive deposition he gave more than a decade ago as part of Constand’s civil lawsuit against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the deposition, released in 2015 at the request of The Associated Press, Cosby said he obtained several prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s and offered the now-banned sedatives to women he wanted to have sex with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said he gave Constand three half-tablets of the cold and allergy medicine Benadryl before the “petting” began. Prosecutors suggested he drugged her with something stronger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand, 44, initially went to police about a year after she said Cosby assaulted her, but a prosecutor declared her case too weak to bring charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade later, a new district attorney reopened the investigation after Cosby’s lurid testimony about drugs and sex became public, and dozens of women came forward against one of the most beloved stars in all of show business. He was charged shortly before the statute of limitation was set to expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMonagle, in his closing argument, pointed out that Constand telephoned Cosby dozens of times after the alleged assault. Constand told the jury she was merely returning his calls about the women’s basketball squad at Temple University, where she was director of team operations and he was a member of the board of trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t talking to a trustee. This is talking to a lover,” McMonagle said of one call that lasted 49 minutes. “Why are we running from the truth of this case — this relationship? Why?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also tried to sow doubt about Constand’s story, saying it had evolved during her interviews with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steele, the district attorney, said it was no accident that some of Constand’s memories were faulty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are some things in this case that should be fuzzy. Why? Because he drugged her to do this,” the prosecutor told jurors. “She spent a lot more time trying to forget what happened than trying to remember that night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before going on trial, Cosby expressed hope he could eventually resume his career. But TV networks had long since scrapped plans for a comeback and pulled reruns from the air after his lurid deposition testimony became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\nFor more on Cosby, including trial updates, historical photos, videos and an audio series exploring the case, visit http://www.apnews.com/tag/CosbyonTrial.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In many ways, the Summer of Love in San Francisco was a rather dreary few months, but the bands and the hippies made for an inspiring musical event at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Monterey Pop made the reputations for so many bands: Jimi Hendrix, Steve Miller, Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish and the Grateful Dead.\u003cbr>\nMany of the artists appearing this year are doing tributes to the great performers of 50 years ago: Leon Bridges is channeling Otis Redding (who was riveting), blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr stands in for Jimi Hendrix (though no word on whether he’s going to immolate his guitar as Hendrix did), and the Head and the Heart fill in for the Mamas and the Papas. If you can’t go, stream the classic D. A.

He’s a choreographer whose work can resemble dance plays, with dialogue and characters addressing the audience. This celebration at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts features \u003cem>Nobody Lives Here Now, \u003c/em>about the aging process for a dancer, and how fragile our bodies are.

In many ways, the Summer of Love in San Francisco was a rather dreary few months, but the bands and the hippies made for an inspiring musical event at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Monterey Pop made the reputations for so many bands: Jimi Hendrix, Steve Miller, Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish and the Grateful Dead.\u003cbr>\nMany of the artists appearing this year are doing tributes to the great performers of 50 years ago: Leon Bridges is channeling Otis Redding (who was riveting), blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr stands in for Jimi Hendrix (though no word on whether he’s going to immolate his guitar as Hendrix did), and the Head and the Heart fill in for the Mamas and the Papas. If you can’t go, stream the classic D. A. Pennebaker film \u003cem>Monterey Pop\u003c/em> and look for Otis Redding singing “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long.” \u003ca href=\"https://montereypopfestival50.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13437198\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13437198\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/06/Surrealistic-Conservatory-of-Flower-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"The San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers all dressed up for a city sponsored Summer of Love concert\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers all dressed up for a city-sponsored Summer of Love concert.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>June 21\u003c/strong>: The city of San Francisco is putting on its own Summer of Love concert (despite the legal fight with a promoter trying to do the same) at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, with a free concert with former members of the Jefferson Airplane, the Chambers Brothers, Moonalice and others.

It’s a show about a black high schooler who plays by all the rules, and still something awful happens to him and his family. I’m a big fan of Hall as both an actor and director.

He lives nearby and saw how Potero del Sol Park was lovely and sunny, with birthday parties galore on weekends, but still underused. John invited the \u003ca href=\"http://thebaybridged.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bay Bridged \u003c/a>to come on board to help produce this daylong fest, in which pop and rock mixed with Dvorak. The mission continues: feature the wonderfully eclectic sounds of Bay Area bands, plus a rich mix of food trucks. This year Melina Duterte, known as Jay Som, is one of the headliners, riding a wave of praise for her first full album (\u003cem>Everybody Works\u003c/em>). You can also hear the ingenious chamber jazz and Afro-pop of Bells Atlas, singer-songwriter Sean Hayes, indie rockers Never Young, rappers Duckwrth and R&B singer Rayana Jay from Richmond. John thinks Thee Oh Sees do one of the best live shows of any band, and will make a great closer.

Mälkki’s record here, especially tackling contemporary works, would seem to make her a great choice. She’s conducting Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto #1 with the great Garrick Ohlson.

He lives nearby and saw how Potero del Sol Park was lovely and sunny, with birthday parties galore on weekends, but still underused. John invited the \u003ca href=\"http://thebaybridged.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bay Bridged \u003c/a>to come on board to help produce this daylong fest, in which pop and rock mixed with Dvorak. The mission continues: feature the wonderfully eclectic sounds of Bay Area bands, plus a rich mix of food trucks. This year Melina Duterte, known as Jay Som, is one of the headliners, riding a wave of praise for her first full album (\u003cem>Everybody Works\u003c/em>). You can also hear the ingenious chamber jazz and Afro-pop of Bells Atlas, singer-songwriter Sean Hayes, indie rockers Never Young, rappers Duckwrth and R&B singer Rayana Jay from Richmond. John thinks Thee Oh Sees do one of the best live shows of any band, and will make a great closer.

Gianna Constand told the jury that she was distraught to learn what Cosby had done to her daughter.\u003cbr>\n“They were good friends. She viewed him like a father.

But she said he kept their next conversation short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors played a recording of the call, in which Cosby offered to pay for Constand’s education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She could go to school,” he said. “If she wanted to do that, then I would be willing to … pay for the schooling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby is charged with aggravated indecent assault. The 79-year-old comedian once dubbed America’s Dad could get 10 years in prison if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s lawyers have argued that the sexual encounter with Constand was consensual and have cited phone records showing she called the TV star 53 times afterward, including one call that lasted 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Constand said she was returning calls Cosby made to her university-issued cellphone about the basketball team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She continued to do her job,” Constand’s lawyer, Dolores Troiani, said outside court. “This man was a trustee at Temple. Of course she was calling him back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand’s long-awaited showdown with Cosby’s lawyers became bogged down in a painstaking examination of her phone records and police statements, and the defense couldn’t budge her off her account of molestation and broken trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand was direct and polite under cross-examination, even when Agrusa’s questioning grew pointed and accusatory. Cosby kept still, looking down at the defense table through most of the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During one exchange, Cosby lawyer Angela Agrusa suggested that Constand once enjoyed a romantic dinner at Cosby’s home before the alleged assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You were sitting by the fire. The room was dark. There was a nice mood …,” Agrusa began, paraphrasing Constand’s 2005 statement to police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know what that means,” Constand said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lights were dim and the fire was going,” the lawyer continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t really remember how dim the lights were, but I did have to eat my dinner,” Constand said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agrusa also questioned why Constand allowed herself to be alone with Cosby after the comedian had made advances on two occasions — touching her thigh one time, and trying to open her pants another time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you knew — you were alone at his home — that Mr. Cosby was interested in you romantically?” Agrusa asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, ma’am, he never said a word to me,” Constand said. She testified she let Cosby know she wasn’t interested in his advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand said she was going to confront Cosby about the assault during an event he was hosting at his home for high school students. At the same time, Constand said, she was bringing Cosby a gift from a mutual acquaintance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agrusa seized on the seeming contradiction: “You were going to confront the man you say assaulted you and you’re bringing him bath salts?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense lawyer sought to show that Constand changed her mind about the date of the alleged assault. But Constand perhaps blunted the attack by saying she got confused and initially thought the episode happened in March 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was mistaken,” she said, unflustered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 60 women have come forward to say Cosby sexually violated them, all but destroying his nice-guy image, but the statute of limitations for prosecution had run out in nearly every case. Constand’s case is the only one in which Cosby has been charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are sexual assault victims unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\nFor more on Cosby, including trial updates, historical photos, videos and an audio series exploring the case, visit: http://www.apnews.com/tag/CosbyonTrial\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Bill Cosby went on trial Monday on charges he drugged and sexually assaulted a woman more than a decade ago, with a prosecutor warning the jury not to fall into the trap of confusing the 79-year-old comedian with the beloved family man he played on TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby used his power and fame to violate an employee of Temple University’s basketball program, Assistant District Attorney Kristen Feden said in her opening statement. The TV star previously admitted under oath that he gave Andrea Constand pills and touched her genitals as she lay on his couch at his suburban Philadelphia mansion, the prosecutor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She couldn’t say no,” Feden said. “She can’t move, she can’t talk. Completely paralyzed. Frozen. Lifeless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense lawyer Brian McMonagle immediately attacked what he said were inconsistencies in Constand’s story, disputed that Constand was incapacitated, and made the case that she and Cosby, who was married, had a romantic relationship. McMonagle said Cosby gave her the cold and allergy medicine Benadryl only after she complained she couldn’t sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMonagle said Constand changed the date of the encounter from mid-March to mid-January of 2004. And he said Constand initially told police that she and Cosby had never spoken afterward, when, in fact, phone records show the two talked 72 times after mid-January — with 53 of those calls initiated by Constand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault. He could get 10 years in prison if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The TV star carried a wooden cane and grabbed his spokesman’s arm for support as he walked past dozens of cameras into the courthouse. Cosby’s wife, Camille, was not in court. But actress Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played his daughter Rudy on the top-rated \u003cem>Cosby Show\u003c/em> in the 1980s and ’90s, was at his side as he made his way into the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby smiled but said nothing when someone asked how he was feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pulliam told reporters she came to the trial to support her TV dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to be the person that I would like to have if the tables were turned,” she said. “Right now it’s the jury’s job and the jury’s decision to determine guilt or innocence. It’s not mine or anyone else’s.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand, 44, of the Toronto area, is expected to take the stand this week and tell her story in public for the first time. A woman who claims Cosby drugged and assaulted her in 1996 will also testify in an effort by prosecutors to show that he had pattern of behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby built a good-guy reputation as a father and family man, on screen and off, during his extraordinary 50-year career in entertainment. He created TV characters, most notably Dr. Cliff Huxtable, with crossover appeal among blacks and whites alike. His TV shows, movies and comedy tours earned him an estimated $400 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a deposition unsealed in 2015 in a lawsuit brought by Constand revealed that Cosby had a long history of extramarital liaisons with young women and that he obtained quaaludes in the 1970s to give to women before sex. Dozens of women soon came forward to say he had drugged and assaulted them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statute of limitations for prosecuting Cosby had run out in nearly every case. This is the only one to result in criminal charges against the comic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feden told jurors that celebrities like Cosby are seen as “larger than life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think we really know them,” she said. “In reality, we only have a glimpse of who they really are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors had wanted to call as many as 13 of Cosby’s more than 60 accusers as witnesses, but Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill ruled that only Constand and the other woman could take the stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who showed up for the first day of the trial, told reporters she is hopeful “there will be justice in this case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allred represents several of Cosby’s accusers, including the one who will testify for the prosecution — a woman who worked for the comedian’s agent at the William Morris agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is not going to be decided on optics,” Allred said. “It’s going to be decided on the evidence, and finally, it’s Mr. Cosby who’s going to have to face that evidence and confront the accusers who are against him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand filed a police complaint in 2005 over the encounter at Cosby’s home. The district attorney at the time said the case was too weak to prosecute. But a new set of prosecutors charged Cosby a year and a half ago after the deposition became public and numerous women came forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, McMonagle suggested Constand and the other accuser set to testify were seeking payouts over the allegations. And he told jurors that Cosby apologized to Constand’s mother in a phone call the year after the encounter not because he had assaulted her, but to say, “I’m sorry, I’m a married man, and I never should have done it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s lawyers tried repeatedly to get the case thrown out. They said Cosby testified in the lawsuit only after being promised he could never be charged. And they argued that the delayed prosecution makes the case impossible to defend, given that witnesses have died, memories have faded and Cosby, they say, is blind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP does not typically identify people who say they are sexual assault victims unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\nFor more on Cosby, including trial updates, historical photos, videos and an audio series exploring the case, visit: www.apnews.com/tag/CosbyonTrial\u003c/p>\n\n",

The TV star previously admitted under oath that he gave Andrea Constand pills and touched her genitals as she lay on his couch at his suburban Philadelphia mansion, the prosecutor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She couldn’t say no,” Feden said. “She can’t move, she can’t talk. Completely paralyzed. Frozen. Lifeless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense lawyer Brian McMonagle immediately attacked what he said were inconsistencies in Constand’s story, disputed that Constand was incapacitated, and made the case that she and Cosby, who was married, had a romantic relationship. McMonagle said Cosby gave her the cold and allergy medicine Benadryl only after she complained she couldn’t sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMonagle said Constand changed the date of the encounter from mid-March to mid-January of 2004. And he said Constand initially told police that she and Cosby had never spoken afterward, when, in fact, phone records show the two talked 72 times after mid-January — with 53 of those calls initiated by Constand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He could get 10 years in prison if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The TV star carried a wooden cane and grabbed his spokesman’s arm for support as he walked past dozens of cameras into the courthouse. Cosby’s wife, Camille, was not in court. But actress Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played his daughter Rudy on the top-rated \u003cem>Cosby Show\u003c/em> in the 1980s and ’90s, was at his side as he made his way into the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby smiled but said nothing when someone asked how he was feeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pulliam told reporters she came to the trial to support her TV dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to be the person that I would like to have if the tables were turned,” she said. “Right now it’s the jury’s job and the jury’s decision to determine guilt or innocence. It’s not mine or anyone else’s.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand, 44, of the Toronto area, is expected to take the stand this week and tell her story in public for the first time. A woman who claims Cosby drugged and assaulted her in 1996 will also testify in an effort by prosecutors to show that he had pattern of behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby built a good-guy reputation as a father and family man, on screen and off, during his extraordinary 50-year career in entertainment. He created TV characters, most notably Dr. Cliff Huxtable, with crossover appeal among blacks and whites alike. His TV shows, movies and comedy tours earned him an estimated $400 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a deposition unsealed in 2015 in a lawsuit brought by Constand revealed that Cosby had a long history of extramarital liaisons with young women and that he obtained quaaludes in the 1970s to give to women before sex. Dozens of women soon came forward to say he had drugged and assaulted them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statute of limitations for prosecuting Cosby had run out in nearly every case. This is the only one to result in criminal charges against the comic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feden told jurors that celebrities like Cosby are seen as “larger than life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think we really know them,” she said. “In reality, we only have a glimpse of who they really are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors had wanted to call as many as 13 of Cosby’s more than 60 accusers as witnesses, but Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill ruled that only Constand and the other woman could take the stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who showed up for the first day of the trial, told reporters she is hopeful “there will be justice in this case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allred represents several of Cosby’s accusers, including the one who will testify for the prosecution — a woman who worked for the comedian’s agent at the William Morris agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is not going to be decided on optics,” Allred said. “It’s going to be decided on the evidence, and finally, it’s Mr. Cosby who’s going to have to face that evidence and confront the accusers who are against him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constand filed a police complaint in 2005 over the encounter at Cosby’s home. The district attorney at the time said the case was too weak to prosecute. But a new set of prosecutors charged Cosby a year and a half ago after the deposition became public and numerous women came forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, McMonagle suggested Constand and the other accuser set to testify were seeking payouts over the allegations. And he told jurors that Cosby apologized to Constand’s mother in a phone call the year after the encounter not because he had assaulted her, but to say, “I’m sorry, I’m a married man, and I never should have done it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby’s lawyers tried repeatedly to get the case thrown out. They said Cosby testified in the lawsuit only after being promised he could never be charged. And they argued that the delayed prosecution makes the case impossible to defend, given that witnesses have died, memories have faded and Cosby, they say, is blind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP does not typically identify people who say they are sexual assault victims unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\nFor more on Cosby, including trial updates, historical photos, videos and an audio series exploring the case, visit: www.apnews.com/tag/CosbyonTrial\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
